Description

IC 11 or NGC 281, AKA Pacman nebula is a hydrogen emission nebula in the Northern constellation of Cassiopea. It is a region of active star formation, evidenced by the presence of bright blue stars and small dark structures called Bok globules. The bright blue star at the center is HD5005, a class O6 star. It is particularly interesting because it is a quintuple star which has four faint companions within 16 arcseconds of angular separation from one another.
